Abstract:
Fruit growing in Romania, has an old and rich tradition, but the most
significant changes, in this field, occurred during the XX-th century, when the
areas grown to fruit trees, the varietal assortment as well as the total fruit
yield were dramatically modified.
During the XX century, the fruit growing knew the fundamental
transformations. Thus, the area surface with orchards trees where 340100
hectare in 1927, 184200 hectare in 1950, 428 400 hectares in 1970 the and
239900 hectares in 1999. The total production of varied in these periods,
between 401100 Tons in 1950 the and 2183000 tons in 1993. Despite the
fact as the in 1993 he achieved most high production of fruit, and the average
consumption where 35,7 kg. but meaningful lower than optimal consumption
on adult person, in temperate region (63 kg.on habitant).
The study was realized in NE Region of Romania countries in witch
fruit growing is well represented by the culture of a diversity of species and
varieties that find favorable climatic conditions for growth and fructification,
assuring fruit consumption spread out along the whole year.
We should understand fruit-growing patrimony as: “Not only the
number of fruit-trees and the area covered by them, but also the ecological
background, I.e. favorableness of the climatic conditions and the production
capacity of the soil under plantations (the determining factors of the fruit
tree production potential).
It established for the district Iasi to represent the representative area
of study, where were delimitated 15 agroeconomic micro zone.
In fallow the research we can say that the great difficulties meet the
farmers of the researched area as regards the valorization of product
surplus. Generally as a consequence of price freedom and total lack or
inefficiency of legislation for producer protection, they work permanently in
loss, with the exception of some products and conjuncture which ensure them
profit.
To scrutinise the problem of competitiveness, the exploratory research
on the perception of the competitive performance was designed by means of
SWOT analysis.
